In relation to this, how feesable would it be for Irish rail to extend its commuter service from Newry - Drogheda and Drogheda - Newry? Translink could run enterprises and cafs from Belfast to Newry and Newry - Belfast.

Basically if they extended the 6:35 from dundalk to 6:15 start in Newry and 07:16 from dundalk to a 6:55 start in newry would mean a huge amount for the commuters relying on the enterprise which barely makes connolly for 9:30 now. worse expected when schools get back.

Other direction, extend the 18:00 from drogheda to newry and translink pick up with a caf from newry at 18:45? It gives a few extra options for us and at least I wouldnt be getting into work at 10:00am
